Penúltima Cena

Experimental Theatre

Judas Iscariot and Mary Magdalene meet one night before the Last Supper. She was once a famous prostitute, while he used to be a Zealot terrorist; now they are neither one nor the other. She accepts her new role with silence and a sense of sacrifice, whereas he tries by all means possible to escape his fate as a conspirator, denying the character he is supposed to play, the texts that have been placed in his mouth; he believes everyone has what is needed to become a Messiah, and not a simple traitor. In the past they used to be lovers, but now Judas wants more than that; one action by Mary Magdalene will be enough to make Judas a Messiah, and ensure that he does not have to kill himself.
